254 Catch frogs
Gu Qing distributed the gifts prepared in advance to everyone, and after taking the knowledge of Gu Yu and Gu Nuo in the past few months, he walked into the house, returned to his room, and rested on the bed.
This sleep slept directly in the evening, and the sunset shone in from the window, giving people a sense of quiet years.
She sat up and walked to the gate of the courtyard, where she heard someone talking in the courtyard in front of her.
The family is back, Yu An and Yang Pei are talking about the business of the store, Gu Nuo is studying, Gu Yu is talking and laughing with Yang Huai, and the maids and daughters-in-law in the family are doing their own thing, and everything is in order.
At sunset, the whole village was busy.
Hundreds of tables are set up in the square, each table is already full of food, the smell of food spreads everywhere, the cats and dogs in the village are attracted, the children play with the cats and dogs, the women talk and laugh around, the men smoke and talk about the mountains, everything is so beautiful.
Now it is the time when the lotus pond is prosperous, there are a group of tourists in the village, and they are also staying in the party to participate in the dinner, these tourists heard that the lord of Rongchang has come back from the capital, and they are naturally eager to stay, so they can listen to what the lord of Rongchang has experienced in the capital, and when the time comes, talk to friends, and there is something to talk about.
Gu Qing walked to the square with his family, and was immediately led by Li Zheng to sit on the main seat.
There are eight people sitting on this main seat, in addition to Gu Qing, Yang Pei, and Yu An, there are also Li Zheng, Old Lady Gu, Shopkeeper Wang, and several patriarchs with foreign surnames.
The reason why the shopkeeper can sit at this table is because he can speak well and is not afraid of being cold at any time.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone's words increased, and they all wanted to know about the capital.
"This time I went to the capital, it happened suddenly, and I received a holy decree to enter the capital temporarily." Gu Qing said with a smile, "I opened two shops in the capital, and on the opening day, the emperor gave a plaque, the national teacher supported the scene, and even the queen mother gave a congratulatory gift......
She was speaking at the main table, and many people gathered around her with bowls to listen to her.
Old woman Gu couldn't help but speak, "The emperor gave a plaque, what a great honor is this?"
"What a great honor, our county lord can afford it!" Li Zheng drank two glasses of wine and said, "Without the county lord, can we live a good life today? Can those ministers in the DPRK and China control the life and death of our ordinary people? They only know how to collect taxes! Only we, Gu Niangzi, will think about whether we have food to eat, clothes to wear, and a place to live!"
"Aunt Lizheng said it well! We don't care about those people in Gujia Village, anyway, the county lord is our heaven, and we will do whatever the county lord tells us to do!"
"If you want me to say, the saint is a Ming monarch, otherwise how could he canonize Gu Niangzi. also promoted Gu Niangzi's two husbands to official positions. Isn't this the discerning vision of heroes, valuing our Gu Niangzi!"
"You can't say that." Gu Qing said, "The two of them were exceptionally sealed because they have their own abilities."
Aunt Zhao asked gossips, "What kind of material do the nobles in the capital wear? Did those ladies and young ladies follow a dozen maids behind them as soon as they went out?"
A group of women immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, I also heard that the rich nobles in the capital pay special attention to pomp and circumstance when they travel."
Gu Qing couldn't cry or laugh: "How can it be so exaggerated, I saw that the princess was only followed by two maids and two guards when she traveled!" If you go out with a dozen, how many people do you have to raise?"
….
The women of the village are like this, they only care about the things they care about, and they are not interested in other political affairs as commoners.
"By the way, the county lord, you quickly tell me, have you seen the emperor, and what does the emperor look like......
Gu Qing nodded: "The saint is very beautiful, graceful and luxurious, and mighty and domineering, I have also met the queen and the queen mother, and they have also given me a lot of gold and silver treasures."
"Good fellow! Gu Niangzi actually saw the emperor!"
"Hey, the ancestral tomb of the old Gu family is really smoking, and the feng shui of our Gu family village is really good."
"The queen mother has rewarded gold and silver treasures, so the emperor should also reward good things, hurry up and make it clear to us, don't ask a word before you say a word."
Gu Qing had to put down his chopsticks: "Before I came back, I asked the emperor for a piece of land.
The house is being built within a radius of five miles, so I have to go to the capital in three months to attract investment."
Five miles away?
The people in the village were stunned.
"Within a radius of five miles, there must be two of us in Gujia Village!"
"County Lord, will you come back after you leave?"
Everyone looked up at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing nodded: "Come back, no matter where I go, Gujia Village will always be my homeland."
The dinner party in Gujia Village revolved around Gu Qing from beginning to end, and after the moon rose, the banquet finally had to end.
After everyone helped clean up the mess, they went home.
Because of the delay in the afternoon, after eating, some villagers would go to the fields to work, and there were many torches lit in the fields.
Gu Qing walked on the road in the village, saw the commercial street that was getting better and better, saw the neat school, and those small courtyards with bright lights, and the village was developing better and better.
When I walked to the door of the house, the evening breeze was gentle, blowing a burst of lotus fragrance.
Gu Qing slapped his head.
She remembered that at this time in her last life, there would be people selling lotus flowers on the street, and occasionally people selling a small amount of lotus root tips.
The tip of the lotus root is also the juvenile period of the lotus root, which is particularly delicious and sweet.
Gu Qing especially likes to eat lotus root tips and fried large intestines.
"Xia Zhu, let's go, let's go to the lotus pond!"
"County Lord!" Xia Zhu persuaded: "This big night, the lotus pond won't run, should we come back tomorrow?"
"Okay!"
It's a nuisance to be out of sight when it's dark.
But she couldn't sleep when she went back so early, and she slept a lot in the afternoon!
Listening to the sound of frogs all around, Gu Qing felt that she had just eaten and was hungry again.
"Natsutake! Let's go catch frogs!"
Xia Zhu felt a chill: "County Lord, what are we going to do with it?"
"Frogs are a good thing, there are several flavors of dry pot frogs alone, and you can also make spicy jumping frogs, charcoal-grilled frogs, ......
Yu An and Yang Pei have already grasped the key point, "County Lord, how much do you want to catch? I'll catch you!"
was taken by Yu Anjie first, Yang Pei was not angry, he waited for Yu An to catch frogs and asked, "The county lord came to the lotus pond to catch frogs, but is there anything else?"
Gu Qing nodded, "I want the tip of the lotus root in the lotus pond mud, there shouldn't be much left this season, it's too dark to find, or I don't know the day!"
"It's okay, I'll help you find it!" Yang Pei went down to the lotus pond here, and Xia Zhu didn't dare to continue to stay in place, so he had to follow into the water.
The lotus pond is lined with long wooden paths, and a pavilion has been built to rest and enjoy the flowers.
From the pavilion, a step down the pond was built, but it could go down slowly.
Gu Qing squatted on the edge of the pond and pointed to the lotus leaf and said, "You look at this leaf and observe which direction its sharp corners are facing, so you can touch it down the pole, and after your hand touches the soil, you can continue to touch it in the direction of the sharp corners, and you can touch a thin thing, and gently pull it out......
